Welcome Back Friends

After an injury-induced shift key, Lance Franklin returns to the Hawks apparently intends to make up for lost time.

From the get-go, Franklin was in the middle of the action. He shuffled with a cap expert Jake Carlisle early Essendon before in the first term. Scored three goals to bag

In the second, after performing his way through a trio of defenders bombers, buddy swung his trusty left boot, really popped out of 45 meters in a single display brightness.

In the last season of the competition show, Buddy was on with the intention of spearheading Slam, as he could.

Franklin was charged with eight goals and three behind, amassing an incredible number of 11 shots for the match score.

It may be headed for greener (more?) Pastures in 2014, but if Franklin can support this kind of form, it could lead to a Hawthorn premiership in 2013 lead.

Unbreakable lines

It is not secret Essendon's best if the attack on the defensive line with dash and vigor.

But against the Hawks, the bombers were unable to sustain a run defense. Apart from the first 15 minutes of the first quarter started the first four goals in Essendon, held the likes of Michael Hibberd, Courtenay Dempsey, etc. at bay.

Too often, the bombers were forced unnecessary handball on the edge of their defensive 50, shows the ability of the Hawks to grab the center and cancel options downfield.

Essendon showed flashes of his best form, but the crushing defeat exposed the weaknesses of Premiership prevent discord.

Pinch hitting Cyril

In the final stages of the opening period, with the assistance of such a thing swayed like a dead end, Cyril Rioli has shown its value for Hawthorn.

Two shots poor foot defense,. First of Shane Savage and Jack Gunston eventually led to the tumbling ball to the feet of Rioli In most cases, the next action frontman is relatively predictable, together under enormous pressure before they attacked immediately, causing the referee to call a ball.

This was not the case this time.

Rioli flashed all own heels, dancing around the Essendon defender would be to identify before Lance Franklin 35 meters from goal.

A series of hamstring injuries can be the result Rioli is reduced to a kind of "dough" for the Hawks, but the passage of the game is indicative of how their impact can be far beyond possessions.

Oh, and so was his blistering goal in the second term.

Second Quarter Surge

The Hawks simply dominated the Bombers and scored three times over 50 Inside - 21-7 nine hits and scored twice.

Only a few wayward shots foot stored Essendon goal of what would have been a half-time deficit to have troublesome.

The Laughing Melksham

In the middle of the third period, Jake Melksham perhaps deserves a couple of weeks on the sidelines after a violent clash with Jarryd rude.

Melksham, rushing down the hall, collected rough high when bigman hawk moved over to block his view. The contact itself was largely inevitable.

However, Melksham will certainly ran into trouble because the decision to leave his feet and raise his arms, which led him to connect right to the chin hard.

Trying to predict the Task Force on the score sheet, is a futile exercise, but it will have a nervous wait earlier this week.

What's in a name?

Scanning the scoresheet for the calm before the storm possible, a name visiting team Essendon provide some light-hearted fun.

Under physiotherapist, listed Bombers Merion Jones.

Now, while the spelling is not accurate, we could not help but think of the American sprinter Marion Jones, the darling of the Olympic Games in Sydney later stripped of his success and dignity after a PED scandal humility.

The football public still eagerly awaiting the release of the results of ASADA role in Essendon program banned substance, but at least a certain irony lies on the scoresheet.
